Michelle S. Lee; Fatima Mir; Amerta Ladhani; Huba Atiq; Shaun K. Morris; Mark O. Tessaro – This study aimed to 1. Deliver a train-the-trainer program in Pakistan on lung POCUS for diagnosing pediatric pneumonia; 2. Determine inter-rater reliability between i) study-trained community health workers (CHWs) and a remote expert, with both interpreting POCUS examinations acquired by the CHWs, and ii) study-trained CHWs and local champions, with both interpreting examinations that they had acquired.
